| Addressing Islam: The Muslim Brotherhood and Democracy |
| 2011-03-14 |
| The entire apparatus of U.S.-Muslim dialogue is controlled by our enemies. There is one silver lining to the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt: it will eventually force the United States to adopt an international policy on Islam itself. Given his Cairo speech in 2009, littered with historical inaccuracies and undue politically correct praise of Islam, we shouldn’t expect President Obama to take upon himself this task. Perhaps another statesman will. But that it must be done — alas, ten years after 9/11 — is no longer a matter of debate. The national discourse is petty. Policymakers talk as though the problem were merely 500 terrorists cave-hopping around Waziristan. This is not so. The issue is societal. Europe is on the precipice of cultural implosion. The issue is also imminent. The entire Persian Gulf and Arab Levant is up for grabs. Atomic bombs are in question. Radical Islamists have entrenched themselves in the West’s political mainstream — even into the U.S. government. For decades, the Muslim Brotherhood has had more power within the United States than in Egypt. |

| #3 This is how I address it. If you're not American, well, you're just not American. I hate all non-americans equally, that way no one gets more negative attention than any other. However, I hate some non-Americans slightly more than others. Namely, Islamic men. They apparently don't like me either, so its mutual. Now, lets get bombastic on some Islamic ass. |
